“This place makes me think that other Mexican restaurants in town don't season their food and just slather cheese on it hoping you won't notice. I also really like their tortilla soup because they're putting some tomato bouillon or something in there that just elevates it“

“I don't know what they're doing to these tacos, but I'm completely addicted to them. It's almost like they're throwing in extra seasoning or actually just seasoning the food and other places don't. This place is raised the bar for me to the point I can't eat tacos at any other Mexican restaurant in town. It's like they're just trying to let the cheese do all the work and this place doesn't do that.“

“As I was looking for an authentic Mexican place, I came upon Loco Lupes. I wanted queso and on the DoorDash website, this was the only place other than Socal, Chiptotle, and Central Mesa. Although those places are great, I do not like their queso very much. I have never heard of Loco Lupes but decided to give it a go. Thank goodness I did because that was one of the best quesos that I have ever had. I also got a cheese quesadilla and salsa. Both were great and I will for sure order this again. 10/10!“
